Anyone else bruising less?

Hi725

Before pregnancy, if you breathed on me too hard I got a black and blue. I had bruises on my arms, my shins, everywhere.

For the last few months, I have not had one single bruise, anywhere on my body. This is so incredibly abnormal for me.

I'm wondering if it's the prenatal vitamins, or the increased blood volume, or something totally different.

I certainly haven't gotten more graceful. I still collide with my coffee table and bounce off of doorframes on a fairly regular basis, lol

Now that you mention it, yes... I didn't even have any bruises when I fell (hard) on ice recently! And I am fair-skinned and bruise pretty easily...

Hmm, yeah, I didn't notice this until you just mentioned it, but I used to have bruises all over (I couldn't even remember where I got them because I bruised so easily).  Now I don't have a single bruise on me.  Although, I haven't been mountain biking and that was a big source of bruises!  Of course walking was also a big source....
